Abstract

Abstract: One of the indicators to identify a person's risk of hypertension is by measuring lipid profile. Measuring the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level in the lipid profile plays an important role in evaluating the risk of hypertension. This study aimed to determine the relationship between HDL level and blood pressure among patients with hypertension at ODSK Hospital in North Sulawesi Province. This was a retrospective and analytical study using a cross-sectional design. The data used in this study were medical records of all patients with hypertension at the ODSK Hospital in the North Sulawesi Province during the period of April 2022 to September 2023. Samples consisted of patients with hypertension at the ODSK Hospital who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that the majority patients with hypertension patients with low HDL levels were female (64.9%). Additionally, based on blood pressure the highest percentage of patients with hypertension was in the grade 1 category (57.1%). However, there was no significant correlation between HDL level and blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic) with p-values>0.05 (p=0.683 and p=0.121). In conclusion, there is no significant relationship between HDL level and blood pressure in patients with hypertension at ODSK Regional Hospital, North Sulawesi Province.

Abstract

Abstract: Gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria are common causes of sepsis and septic shock, therefore, treatment often uses broad spectrum antibiotics. This study aimed to determine the types of antibiotics used, the suitability of antibiotics with etiology, and the average length of antibiotic use in sepsis and septic shock patients at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from July 2022 to June 2023. This was a descriptive and retrospective study using patients’ medical records. The results showed that the use of antibiotics in sepsis and septic shock included monotherapy and combination therapy. The most common antibiotics for monotherapy was levofloxacine (14.3%) in sepsis, and meropenem (8.7%) in septic shock. The most common combination for sepsis was meropenem-levofloxacine (6.7%) and meropenem-metronidazole (6.7%), meanwhile for septic shock was meropenem-levofloxacine (16.5%). Of the 91 sepsis patients, only 15 had the causative germs; 10 (9.62%) antibiotics did not match the etiology, eight (7.84%) did. In septic shock, of 91 patients, five patients had the causative germs; four (4.44%) antibiotics were according to etiology, three (3.37%) were not appropriate. The average use of antibiotics was one day, with an average value of 3.06 for sepsis and 2.24 for septic shock. In conclusion, in patients with sepsis and septic shock, the monotherapy is levofloxacine and meropenem, while the combination therapies are meropenem-levofloxacine and meropenem-metronidazole. Antibiotics appropriate to the etiology in sepsis and septic shock sepsis have nearly the same number with those inappropriate to etiology. The average duration of antibiotic use for both sepsis and septic shock is one day.

Abstract

Abstract: Penetrating cardiac injuries are life-threatening emergencies requiring immediate surgical intervention. We presented a case of cardiac stab wound leading to cardiac tamponade and rupture of the pulmonary artery and right ventricle who survived long enough to undergo emergency procedure. A 25-year-old male was stabbed in the left chest approximately nine hours before admission. He experienced chest pain and dyspnea but remained conscious. After initially treated at a local hospital, he was later referred to a tertiary facility. On assessment, he was tachycardic, tachypneic, and had distant heart sounds. Laboratory findings revealed leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, lactic acidosis, and anemia. Chest radiograph showed a bottle-shaped heart, passive atelectasis, and a rightward shift of the thoracic vertebrae. The initial suspicion was cardiac tamponade due to myocardial rupture. Sternotomy revealed a pericardial hematoma (150 mL), a right ventricular tear extending to the pulmonary artery, and pneumothorax. Surgical repair was performed with drainage placement. After intervention, echocardiograph examination showed no myocardial damage or infarction, a dysfunction in diastolic which showed an impaired in relaxation of the left ventricle which is a temporary consequence of trauma, pericardial effusion or surgical intervention. In conclusion, this case underscores necessity of early surgical intervention even if this patient succeeded surviving for long hours before surgery. While this patient showed promising recovery, close postoperative monitoring remains crucial to detect functional changes and prevent complications.

Abstract

Abstract: Accidents involving ovarian cysts might include cyst rupture, hemorrhage, and torsion. Any girl who has abdominal pain or a pelvic or abdominal mass should be evaluated for ovarian torsion, a rare issue in the juvenile age group. We reported a 10-year-old girl presented with complaints of lower left abdominal pain that began three days prior to her hospital admission. Initially, the pain was intermittent but subsequently became persistent and intensified, with no pain-free intervals. CT-Scan of the abdomen – pelvis without contrast revealed cystic mass with fat components and intralesional calcification, in the suprapubic quadrant. The impression came from the ovary (difficult to determine the right/left ovary), which urged the bladder to the anteroinferior and urged the uterus to the posterior, suspected of mature cystic ovarian teratoma. The patient was managed with intravenous fluids (IVFD), antibiotics, and analgesics for pain control. Due to the high suspicion of ovarian torsion, emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed. Anatomical differences in the paediatric population and their effects on surgery were also be considered. Intraoperative findings confirming a left ovarian cyst measuring approximately 8 x 6 x 4 cm, which had undergone torsion twice. Detorsion was performed, and the ovary was found to be viable. Cystectomy was carried out, preserving healthy ovarian tissue. The right ovary appeared normal. In conclusion, this case underscores the importance of timely surgical intervention, even beyond the traditional "golden period" of 6–12 hours, as collateral blood supply may help maintain ovarian viability. The shift from oophorectomy to ovarian preservation in the management of ovarian torsion reflects evolving clinical practices, emphasizing better reproductive and long-term health outcomes. Early recognition, prompt imaging, and surgical intervention are crucial to preserving ovarian function and improving patient prognosis. This case also highlights the need for increased awareness of ovarian torsion in pediatric and adolescent populations, given its rarity and diagnostic complexity.
